To switch your TomTomGO on or off, press and hold the On/Off button for 2
seconds. The first time you switch on, it may take a short while for your device
to start.
To set up your TomTomGO you need to answer a few questions by tapping

We recommend that you fully charge your TomTomGO the first time that you
connect it to your computer. It takes up to 2 hours to charge the battery
completely.
When you place your GO in the Home Dock or use the USB cable to connect
to your computer, you are asked if you wish to connect to the computer. If you
select Ò±, the device will switch off if you do not tap the screen for three
minutes. This happens so that the battery can recharge at a faster rate.
For information on connecting to your computer, see Ë-·²¹ ̱³Ì±³ ØÑÓÛ
on page 101.
If your TomTomGO takes longer than 5 minutes to find your current position,
make sure that the device is in an open space away from tall objects, such as
buildings or trees.

When you connect your TomTomGO to your computer, you can use
TomTom HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during
the next 7 days. This helps your GO to find your position faster.
׳°±®¬¿²¬: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windscreen.
This may prevent your GO from locating your current position.
The TomTom External Antenna Kit (available for purchase as an accessory)
can help to improve reception.

Use the windscreen holder to install your TomTomGO inside your car.
To attach the holder, press the suction cup firmly to the windscreen in your

Make sure that both the holder and your windscreen are clean and dry before
you attach the holder. Place the holder so that it does not interfere with your
view of the road.

It is important to take care of your GO.
! Your GO is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such
exposure may cause permanent damage.
! Do not open the casing of your GO under any circumstances. Doing so may
be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
! Wipe or dry the screen of your GO using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid
Enhanced Positioning Technology or EPT estimates your location when GPS
reception is poor, such as when you drive between tall buildings.
Your GO uses positioning sensors to monitor your acceleration and direction
and then estimates your current location.
EPT only helps your GO to estimate your location. Calculating your precise
location is only possible when your GO receives a strong GPS signal.
When your GO is using EPT to estimate your location, the EPT icon is shown
on the status bar.
Your GO calibrates EPT automatically. If calibration is not complete when your
GO loses GPS reception, EPT cannot be used and the screen is shown in grey,
for example, when there is no GPS reception at the beginning of a journey.

Þ Your current position.
Calibration is done automatically and requires no interaction from you.
However, it is useful to have basic understanding of the calibration procedure.
Your TomTomGO resets the positioning sensors each time the device is
switched on. To help improve accuracy in estimating your location, your GO
calibrates the sensors throughout your journey.
The following conditions are required for successful calibration:
! Your GO is receiving a strong GPS signal.
! The car has been stationary for at least 5 seconds and then travels along a
straight and level section of road for at least one minute.

Making your first journey
Planning a route with your TomTomGO is easy. To plan your first route, follow
the steps below.
׳°±®¬¿²¬: You should always plan your journey before you start driving. It is
5.Start to type the name of the town where you want to go.
As you type, the names of the towns that match what you have typed are
shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the name of the town

6.Start to type the name of the street and select it when it is shown.
As with the name of the town, the names of the streets that match what you

The route is calculated by your GO. IQ RoutesTM is used to plan the best
possible route, using historical information about traffic speed on the roads.
9.When the route has been calculated, tap ܱ²».
Your GO will immediately begin to guide you to your destination, using both
spoken instructions and on-screen directions.
When you plan a route, your TomTomGO asks you if you need to arrive at a
particular time.
Tap ÇÛÍ to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your GO calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will arrive
on time.
You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your
GO shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave in 30
minutes time, rather than arrive early.
Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your journey. The status bar
shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown
below:
You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before
the time you entered, it is shown in green.
You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the
time you entered, it is shown in yellow.
You will arrive 19 minutes late.
If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered,
it is shown in red.

! Check the route of a journey you are planning.
! Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you, so that you can
explain the route to them.

may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through
a town or city.
Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new
route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an
easy way of calculating a totally different route.
Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then
have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.
Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your GO
will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance
you selected.
Don t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off
the road you are on very soon.
If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap λ½¿´½«´¿¬» ±®·¹·²¿´ to return to your

Your TomTomGO has two different kinds of voices:
! Computer voices
These are generated by your GO. They provide spoken instructions
while you are driving and can pronounce street names and announce
messages, traffic reports, weather reports, tips and tutorials.
Your TomTomGO makes use of text-to-speech technology to generate
computer voices. A text-to-speech program converts written text, for example
an instruction like "Turn right#, into the sound of a human voice.
The text-to-speech program looks at the whole sentence to make sure that the
sound you hear is as close to the real thing as possible. The program is also
able to recognise and quite accurately pronounce foreign place and street
names. For example, the English voice can read French street names.
There is an FM Transmitter inside the GO 530, 730, 930 that works like a radio
station. This means you can hear the instructions made by your GO and play
your mp3 songs through your car radio speakers.

You can select different speakers to be used for specific events, such as using
the internal speaker for TomTomGO instructions and external speakers for
hearing handsfree phone calls and listening to music.

When you choose to use a Bluetooth® Hi-Fi device for music and spoken
instructions, you are asked if you want to pause music when spoken
instructions are announced. By default, music is always paused for spoken
instructions.
When you receive a hands-free phonecall, music is always paused and spoken
instructions are not given.
